Mathematical modelling of radiation-induced cancer risk from breast screening by mammography (2017)
Journal Article
Ali, R., England, A., Mercer, C., Tootell, A., Walton, L., Schaake, W., & Hogg, P. (2017). Mathematical modelling of radiation-induced cancer risk from breast screening by mammography. European Journal of Radiology, 96, 98-103. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejrad.2017.10.003

Objectives: Establish a method to determine and convey lifetime radiation risk from FFDM screening. Methods: Radiation risk from screening mammography was quantified using effective risk (number of radiation-induced cancer cases/million). For effec...

The impact of simulated motion blur on lesion detection performance in full field digital mammography (2017)
Journal Article
Abdullah, A., Thompson, J., Kelly, J., Mercer, C., Aspin, R., & Hogg, P. (2017). The impact of simulated motion blur on lesion detection performance in full field digital mammography. British Journal of Radiology, 90(1075), https://doi.org/10.1259/bjr.20160871

Objective: Motion blur is a known phenomenon in full-field digital mammography, but the impact on lesion detection is unknown. This is the first study to investigate detection performance with varying magnitudes of simulated motion blur. Method: S...

An exploration of mammographers’ attitudes towards the use of social media for providing breast screening information to clients (2017)
Journal Article
Scragg, B., Shaikh, S., Shires, G., Stein Hodgins, J., Mercer, C., Robinson, L., & Wray, J. (2017). An exploration of mammographers’ attitudes towards the use of social media for providing breast screening information to clients. Radiography, 23(3), 249-255. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.radi.2017.04.004

Background: Increasingly patients and clients of health services are using social media to locate information about medical procedures and outcomes. There is increasing pressure for health professionals to engage in on-line spaces to provide clear a...
